Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with Paul Scholes' comeback in last night's Carling Cup victory over Blackburn Rovers.
"It is like having an extra player," said Ferguson of the 34-year-old's return.
"The semi-final gives us two extra matches to play and finding dates for the games against Fulham and Wigan is not going to be easy.
"But the good thing is we have a big strong squad who will all be staying with us.
"None of them are going to leave on loan because we are going to need them."
